April 2026

• Without new leaders, we can’t continue the programs our kids love, or provide vital funds to support the school.
• You will not be alone - the current board will be around to guide, train and support you through the process.
• We have a lot of volunteers in place for next year, but we need a board to take on the official business of running the PTA!

Some Important Emergency Reminders:
If you are volunteering at school and a drill or a true emergency occurs, please remain with your class until you are directed to exit the building. Once outside, all volunteers should check in with Ms. Beavo in the Courtyard (specifically by the table near the Publishing Room). Ms. Beavo will then take attendance so we can also account for all adults at school. If you arrive to school while a drill is happening, please proceed straight to the Courtyard to check in.  

Spirit Wear:
Check out our new Spirit Wear designs for this year (designed by a Wellington parent). Spirit Wear is on sale here, and proceeds from sales go back to PTA to support our school grants, programs and events! Donate previously loved Spirit Wear to the PTA; we'll have another free Spirit Wear Swap during the Art Walk & Book Fair Family Fun Night on March 24. The donation bin is in the main office.

Sponsors:
We love sponsors! If your business is interested in sponsoring the PTA, please contact mandy@wellingtonpta.org or fill out the PTA Sponsorship form.

Matching Donations:
Does your company match donations? Search for Wellington Elementary PTA (tax ID #91-1061631) to take advantage of this benefit if offered through your employer.
